Nyesom Wike and Gov Siminalayi Fubara

The Governor of Rivers State, Siminalayi Fubara, has urged the immediate past governor, Nyesom Wike, not to stay away from him following signs that he might cross to the other side of the political divide.

The governor said this at a thanksgiving reception for Wike at his private residence on Ada-George Road, in his hometown, Rumueprikom in the Obio-Akpor Local Government Area of the stateon Sunday, June 18.

He stated that the sharks and tigers are looking for who to hurt and would need Wike's guidance.

“While we are seeing sign that it’s like you want to go over to the other side with everybody wishing that, please don’t be too far from me because I know that the sharks, the tigers are really around looking for what to hurt. So, being around would continue to guide and put my head straight for the purpose of this state,” Fubara said.

His appeal is coming amid speculations that the former Rivers State governor could dump the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) for the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC).
